Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Smoked Sausage

Are you looking for something a little different for tailgating at the game, dinner or to take to a potluck? This Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Smoked Sausage will be a hit with any crowd!

I will confess, I didn’t use to like smoked sausage but it has grown on me over the years. My kids and picky husband love it so I am always on the hunt for new recipes. I adapted this recipe from a neighbor. Her recipe included 1 cup coconut but my people won’t eat coconut so I substituted the green pepper.

Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Smoked Sausage

I love this recipe because you can either serve it as an appetizer or a meal, it’s great with rice or even noodles. The recipe says 2-3 lbs. because I use two pounds if I am making it as a meal, to ensure there is enough sauce, Three pounds if I am making it as an appetizer.

This recipe does take a little prep work, browning the sausage which you wouldn’t have to do, but it is worth it in my opinion. I also saute the green pepper so it is a little more tender since the cooking time in the crock pot is relatively short. I made it in my 6 qt. oval crock pot.
